Full Metal Furies is an RPG-laden action brawler for up to four players. Not officially announced but there is a Steam page, and it is coming to Linux. Developed by Cellar Door Games, best known for their platformer Rogue Legacy.
Since the brawler formula is outdated news. Hence this game is created for a time when arcade machines guzzled quarters. So this isn’t more plain old beat-em-up gaming. Full Metal Furies is a new take at modernizing the genre. Bringing it to a new generation of gamers. So nothing is sacred in Full Metal Furies, everything is under review. Such as every issue from missing attacks due to obscure depth perception. Or crazy things, like fighting off-screen enemies.

Gameplay:
So on top of all this, a heap of more useful features for the action brawler. Hence an RPG skill trees, collectable equipment, and secret world meta-puzzles. And this isn’t even talking about the co-op gaming.
Full Metal Furies is being designed to support true cooperative gaming. So none of this, players sharing the same screen. Forget that news. A special “barrier system” means certain enemies can only be damaged by certain players. Forcing teammates to communicate and work together. If an ally falls you better pick them up, because those barriers don’t go away. And this isn’t just for people playing with friends.
Singleplayer mode features a quick-swap system that allows you to choose two classes while going solo. Everything you do with your friends you can do alone, like stringing elaborate team combos. Best news of all, Cellar Door Games want to give gamers many opportunities to play with their friends and family. Hence why Full Metal Furies is supporting online co-op play.
